Dinbren has some interesting routes. The vast majority of routes though are quite pumpy and the rock is generally difficult to read. I try The Orgasmatron, 7a but check this for a route description in Rockfax Clwyd Limestone: “Using a bolt for aid gain the undercut flake…”. Ok, without aid it weighs in at a bouldery 8a – that explains it. Above this is powerful climbing, though I didn’t enjoy it much. It has a star in the guide, but it isn’t the best warmer in the world.

Over to Paul’s project Quick Flash, 7a where I have to settle for a redpoint, but it only has a couple of 7a moves. Worthwhile though.

Com-Dem-Nation, 6c is a nice route with a fairly powerful lower half, but it has all you need. It’s a shame these routes are so short. I repeat Traction Trauma, 7a (that’s actually a 6c+) which is a very nice line, and I’d like to get on the lines that split from the shared start. But it gets too cold to start working routes. So I repeat Con-Dem for the clean send.
